entrance into the Deacon Formation Program and possible ordination, rests with the wife of an aspirant or candidate.&nbsp;Indeed, the Program requires written informed consent from wives five times throughout the formation process (at the application stage, movement to the candidate stage, institutions of reader and acolyte, and before ordination).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deacon Formation Program also provides wives with the necessary tools for developing their informed consent regarding the support of their husbands\u2019 participation in the program, as well as for personal spiritual growth and intellectual enrichment.&nbsp;The&nbsp;National Directory&nbsp;states that \u201cThe Aspirant Stage also must enable formation personnel to create an environment in which the wife of a married aspirant can give her consent to his continuation, and more essentially, to ascertain her compatibility with her husband\u2019s diaconal vocation and eventual ministry\u201d
